Michael O’Sullivan, MBBS, FRACP, FRCPA, the principal investigator, shared insights on IgGenix’s Phase 1 human clinical trial for peanut allergies, titled “ACCELERATE Peanut.” This ongoing study is currently in the screening phase and aims to assess the safety and tolerability of IGNX001, a therapeutic candidate designed to provide swift protection for those with peanut allergies.
Derek Croote, PhD, chief technology officer and co-founder of IgGenix, presented preclinical data demonstrating IGNX001’s strong efficacy in preventing peanut-induced mast cell activation and anaphylaxis in a mouse model of peanut allergy. These comprehensive preclinical results were recently published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
“IGNX001 represents a significant advancement in peanut allergy treatment,” remarked Michael O’Sullivan, MBBS, FRACP, FRCPA, a Consultant Clinical Immunologist at Fiona Stanley Hospital and Perth Children’s Hospital, as well as a Clinical Senior Lecturer at the University of Western Australia. “Leveraging advanced research to convert harmful IgE antibodies into IgG4 blocking antibodies that can bind to allergens without triggering reactions, this innovative approach offers a potentially quicker and more effective alternative to existing therapies. It could revolutionize peanut allergy management by reducing the risk of severe reactions and enhancing the quality of life for millions globally.”
